I met Cloyce the summer I graduated from Hamilton High School in 1969. I was on the trail crew and Cloyce was our packer for my two summers on the West Fork Forest Service. I learned much about camping and cooking in the woods from him, even how to tie a "packers knot" which I use to this day. Two very enjoyble summers with Cloyce.
